All the very best Martin, as I am afraid to say you have get the worst side left to do! :'(

My advice is you tie all cables and pipes that you cannot remove up out of the way.  That is the only way that I believe you can get the cover back on without disturbing the gaskets you have so carefully placed into position! :o ;)

OK watched Merlin - a bit of fun, anyway not too bad now, the back has survived, but dreading the passenger bank, last time I went there I broke the cable tray!

Also dreading my back conking out halfway through!

I messed up a fleece supporting myself to avoid straining the back, bonnet is still up a bit as plenum is too wired to car and inlet manifold has too many cables to undo.

Just hope the cabling goes back easily when I refit as the last time I had the plenum off was to fit the cables causing the issue now (cut injectors)

Managed to use a piece of wood to fill in the gap between bonnet and alarm switch so if it gets lifted I will know.

Finished the passenger side around 10:30, just got the plenum refitted and no misfires so everything reconnected.

Just got to do the scuttle panel and wipers.

The sealant on the passenger bank will have until 14:00 to harden enough as I need to use the car!
